SMU Relay For Life 2008

so Friday, the 11th was Relay For Life. I was Chair of the event and my board and i worked so hard to get ready for this big event. our goal this year is to raise over $120,000. Last year the event raised a little under $115,000! Our event here at SMU is the largest collegiate fundraiser for American Cancer Society in the state of Texas. The video above was done by one of my Board members. She, herself, is a cancer survivor and I respect her so much for taking the time to fight cancer. She has been so brave and courageous and I wish that all of the students at SMU could know her story. I know that almost everyone in this day-in-age has been affected by cancer in some way... whether close or far, this cause is one to be noticed and supported. so, if you believe in this fight, i hope you came out to the boulevard to support! if you didn't get the opportunity to, come out to next year's event... it is going to be fantastic! below is a link to the Daily Campus article that was published in the paper on Friday, the 11th.
